• Comment The Emperors Butterflies (Apatura genus) often eat a moisture from unusual sources: rotten fruit, wet clay and even a dead frog. It is feature of emperors butterflies. This photo show Purple Emperors (Apatura iris) (has wing with a white triangle strip) and Lesser Purple Emperors (Apatura ilia) (has beige wing).

• Comment This is an amazing picture but I feel it is not used to its full potential in the current article. Does the taking of moisture have some scientific term/article? --Muhammad(talk) 11:36, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Only feeding in this case --George Chernilevsky ^talk 13:04, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Drinking. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 13:13, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes! Double whiskey frog :) But for a butterflies drinking = feeding --George Chernilevsky ^talk 13:43, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Question Is anybody else actually seeing the frog? I see something dark, but at no point does it look like a frog. (I'm not asking if there is a frog, I'm asking if you can see in the photograph that it is a frog.) Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 16:20, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• I don't see a frog, no. And even though I can see those yellow straws?/tongues?/whatevers, if I didn't already know that they were feeding I wouldn't realise that's what they're doing, here. Nor is it clear that they're eating "moisture", although I suppose this can be assumed because of the species. Matthewedwards :  Chat  21:47, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Support Good EV and quality.--Mbz1 (talk) 05:03, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose, sorry. A very, very interesting picture, and I can see it having great EV, but it just doesn't seem to right now. J Milburn (talk) 09:39, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
